Plus I wanted to maintain consistency by using the same location as other Zen buttons. Hope this is useful to others..
If it helps.. here is the code I used to fix my search sidebox. Copy the tpl_search.php from the default_template to your own template folder as follows: includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_search.php. I used this in ZenCart version 1.3.8a, and it worked perfectly! Please see the highlighted section. Change "YOUR_TEMPLATE" to the name of your template folder.
Code:
